Ten Weeks

October 21, 2011

hey mom happy 50th birthday

This transfer is going soooo fast I can’t believe its been 5 weeks in this transfer already and I have almost been in italy for 12 weeks now.

This week was pretty good all day.  We were in Verona again on a scambi with the other new missionary Anziano Hill lets just say when we are together things are a lot better now that we can both speak and understand and teach a little better now. well I guess I’m having luck talking to people.  I can talk and understand more! I feel like I understand almost everything now but then sometimes I dont understand anything like every week in sunday school when I teach and ask for responses I dont understand anything but when I am teaching a normal lesson to an investigator I understand a lot more im not sure why. those africans we had in church last week didnt come last sunday and so they can still be baptized on the proper date if they come to the next two sundays in a row. so I cross my fingers for that one.  This week my lesson in church went soo bad but after a little bit seemed like it went better.  I teach elderly people so they just get frustrated when they dont understand what I’m saying instead of helping me which is also frustrating for me.

about my package, just put  a picture of Jesus or Mother Mary on it and customs think that it is for the catholic church. that is what my trainer told me. No thanksgiving here. The Italian don’t celebrate it and they dont even celebrate halloween.

Have a fun time on your birthday and think of it this way with every passing age you are that much closer to living with god.

I wrote AJ a  super powerful letter that will break him down with love and if he does wrestling that will be very good for him to take out anger that is why I loved to play football and snowboarding to just take my mind off of everything!! and that was the same with track. Sports are soo good let him do that.

I have learned that  without repenting we will be sad all the time and angry about everything.  When we repent we can feel happy and joy all the time.

I like how they said boise state is the biggest bully in the moutain west haha and an invite from the the big east that is huge!

It’s been raining a ton this week it is kinda yucky and we got soaked on our bikes on the way home one night!

We didnt have p-day wednesday because, we had interviews with the  President and had it Thursday this week but it was messed up p-day because we had to go to a youth activity and go bowling I know, right we had to go bowling haha it was really fun though all the youth and us and a couple of other leaders went bowling but everyone was super bad except for me and Anziano Glowa.  but I did bad because I was goofing off at the end so I ended up almost taking last haha.

So that is how this week went it was super fun and hard and wet.

Happy Birthday, I hope it is really fun and good!

love you lots
anziano strong
